5) R<strong>ADAR</strong>SAT<br />

The Radalsat, the flrst Canadian lemote sensing satellite, is planned to be<br />

l¿unclred in 1994 (Raney et aL l93l). Tlie only payload instlument is a <strong>SAR</strong><br />

operating at a fi'equency of 5.3 GHz (C-band). The spacecraft is schedulecl for'<br />

launch into a sun synchronous neal polar orbit in 1994 fol a five-yeal mission.<br />

The satellite's five-year clesign life is timed to complernent the ealliel ERS-i<br />

ancl JtrRS-1 pÌograùrÌnes (Ahemed et aL lll).<br />

The orbit palaneters of Radarsat are given in Table 2.10. The nominal<br />

altitucle of platform rvill be 800 Àrn ivith 98.6' inclination arìcl an ascencling<br />

nocle of 1800-houls local time. Raclalsat rvill provicle claily Arctic covelage,<br />
